Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the traditional rites of auspicious building and crafting • Explains the ceremonial beginnings and Hermetic principles in the laying out of foundations not only for sacred buildings like temples but also for homes and barns • Examines the principles and ceremonies of electional astrology and details how to compute natural time, as opposed to clock time • Shares examples from ancient Egypt, Iran, India, and Europe that range from the Stone Age to the Renaissance and include secret societies When we make things--whether a building, a sacred space, or a magical object--there is a precise moment when the artifact comes into being as a separate entity. That moment in time possesses its own unique quality, and because of this, there is a right time to do something and a wrong time. And, as Nigel Pennick reveals, we have the power to select favorable moments for our creations, just as our ancestors did. Illustrating ancient principles of divination, chronomancy, and electional astrology, Pennick examines all the factors behind the ancestral art of geomancy: the auspicious creation and alignment of sacred buildings as places of power. Sharing examples from ancient Egypt, Iran, India, and Europe that range from the Stone Age to the modern day, including secret societies like the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons, he explains how many cities were constructed on specially selected sites and founded ritually at precise, predetermined moments. Looking at the traditional rites of creating places of power, Pennick explains the ceremonial beginnings and Hermetic principles in the laying out of foundations as well as the use of sacrifice in the building of many notable structures. Examining the role of sacred geometry in geomancy, Pennick explains the Hermetic meaning assigned to each direction in traditional European cultures as well as the principles of natural measures and the science of understanding lucky and unlucky days. Revealing how geomantic principles are rooted in the structure of the world and the cosmic patterns of space and time, the author shows how they transcend the ages and are just as meaningful today as they were to our ancestors.
Download or read book Of Time and Measurement written by Anthony John Turner and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of precision technology may seem a small, specialised subject, concerned with the development of such mundane, even banal objects as sun-dials, sand-glasses, clocks or rulers and other measuring instruments. Yet their development, as the author holds, has helped condition how we relate to the natural world and is therefore a key aspect of cultural history. For many classes of instruments there are still no basic narrative accounts of their internal evolution, and a number of these studies represent an effort towards fulfilling that need. In others, starting with an object or an object and its maker, the author asks what did it do, and then who wanted it to do it and why, penetrating into the more general social context. In time the studies range from Antiquity to the 19th century, but the emphasis is on the period from the 16th century onwards.L'histoire de la technologie de précision peut paraître comme étant un sujet spécialisé de moindre importance, se rapportant au développment d'objets quelconque, voire banals, tels les cadrans solaires, les sabliers, les horloges, les règles et autres instruments de mesure. D'après l'auteur, leur développement a cependant contribué à déterminer la façon dont nous nous rapportons au monde naturel et fait de ceux-ci l'un des aspects à la clef de notre histoire culturelle. Pour un bon nombre de catégories d'instruments, il n'existe toujours pas de relation de base concernant leur évolution interne; un effort a été accompli au travers de certaines des études contenues dans ce recueil, afin de combler cette lacune. Dans d'autres, l'auteur, débutant par un objet seul, ou bien encore un objet et son créateur, pose la question de savoir ce à quoi celui-ci servait, à qui il était destiné à servir et pourquoi, pénétrant ainsi dans un contexte social plus généralisé. Du point de vue de la chronologie, les études partent de l'Antiquité et vont jusqu'au 19e siècle, l'accent étant surtout mis à partir du 16e siècle.
